I am getting a new ceiling in my sewing/quilting room. While most of the stuff is out of the room, my husband and son-in-law are going to paint the walls and put new floor down. What is a good color for walls? I am thinking just off white.

Yellow is a good color for your sewing room, it's a good color for energy and creativity.
Before I speak,let me think first:
Is it true, is it kind and is it necessary. If not, let it be left unsaid.
I agree. It also reflects the light well and brightens the whole room.Originally Posted by pioneerlady
yes my sewing room is yellow
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

My sewing room is on the north side of the house, so yellow helps to make it cheery (with all my sewing clutter!!)
Mine was yellow as well. It was so cheerful. the room I quilt in now is a guest room and it's sandstone. Not nearly as cheerful.
What colour makes you happy!
Go with your favourite colour ... so you'll want to be there.

Mine is white with lots of red pieces. I like it because my fabrics stand out and my eyes aren't drawn to the walls. I added a huge red and white french message board in front of my favorite machine where I post my latest ideas and artwork from the kiddos. Other than that, I'm surrounded by fabric. Life is good!
If not a white or off white, maybe your favorite color...or you could always bring in favorite colors with accessories. =)

Mine is a soft yellow. It gets quite a lot of sun and also has a large window! Just go with a colour YOU are happy working in!!

Mine is a soft yellow, also, and I love it. The soft yellow I chose actually had more reflective quality than white! It was Behr paint, in Havarda Cream.

Mine is a sand color with lighter sand color trim. The ceiling is a shade lighter then the trim work. I took three fabric swatches to the paint store and they mixed the paint to match.
Funny thing: DH bought paint for our bedroom, suppose to be light tan, it was an ivory color. So I thought mixing some brown with the ivory would darken it. The paint turned to a light lilac blue gray. DH used it anyway as a base coat so not to waste it and it is the best color I could have chosen. Everyone who sees the bedroom color asks me what color are my walls and where did I buy it.
Got fabric?
